 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following clearly and completely describes the technical solutions of this application with reference to specific embodiments of this application and the corresponding accompanying drawings. Apparently, the described embodiments are only some embodiments rather than all the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of this application.
The technical solution provided by various embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
In order to resolve existing problems such as relatively high manual costs for monitoring a placing status of offline electronic advertisements and relatively low efficiency and relatively low accuracy of monitoring of advertisement playing, the embodiments of the present specification provide a blockchain-based advertisement monitoring method. The method provided in the embodiments of the present specification may be implemented by, but not limited to, at least one type of apparatuses, such as an advertisement monitoring apparatus and the like.
For ease of description, an implementation of the method is described below using an advertisement monitoring apparatus as an example. The advertisement monitoring apparatus is merely an example and should not be understood as a limitation to the method.
In particular, FIG. 1 is a schematic flowchart of implementation of a blockchain-based advertisement monitoring method according to one or more embodiments of the present specification. The method includes the following steps.
Step 110: A screenshot image of a target advertisement being played by a playing device and identification information of the playing device are obtained.
In order to obtain, in real time, the screenshot image, a monitoring application may be built in the playing device. A timing screenshot function may be set in the monitoring application, that is, a screenshot operation may be performed on a played image on the playing device at every preset time interval.
Step 120: Blockchain verification information is generated based on the screenshot image and the identification information.
In some embodiments, because each block in the blockchain has a limited storage space, and therefore is generally not suitable to store excessive data. In this case, information such as an original screenshot image may be encrypted using a digest algorithm to obtain a digest of the original information, and then the digest of the original information is uploaded to the blockchain. In this case, generating blockchain verification information based on the screenshot image and the identification information: obtaining a digest of the screenshot image; obtaining a first signature for the digest of the screenshot image and a second signature for the identification information of the playing device; and generating the blockchain verification information based on the first signature, the second signature, and the identification information of the playing device.
In some embodiments, the digest of the screenshot image may be obtained using an image hash algorithm, for example, phash and dhash.
In some embodiments, the screenshot image and the identification information of the playing device may be further combined, and a digest of combined information may be obtained by applying a hash algorithm to the combined information. Here, “combining” may mean “being aggregated.” In this case, generating blockchain verification information based on the screenshot image and the identification information of the playing device, the blockchain verification information being content for verifying the screenshot image and the identification information of the playing device includes: obtaining a digest of the screenshot image and the identification information of the playing device; obtaining a third signature of the playing device for the digest of the screenshot image and the identification information of the playing device and a second signature of the playing device for the identification information of the playing device; and generating the blockchain verification information based on the third signature, the second signature, and the identification information of the playing device.
In some embodiments, the screenshot image, the identification information of the playing device, and a timestamp of a screenshot time may be further combined, and a digest of combined information is obtained by applying a hash algorithm to the combined information. The blockchain verification information is generated based on the digest of the combined information, the second signature of the playing device for the identification information of the playing device, and the timestamp of the screenshot time.
The first signature, the second signature, and the third signature may be obtained through signing using a private key of the playing device. For example, the digest of the screenshot image×the private key=the first signature, the identification information of the playing device×the private key=the second signature, and the digest of (the screenshot image of the playing device+the identification information of the playing device)×the private key=the third signature.
In some embodiments, in order to help search for the data uploaded to the blockchain, after the blockchain verification information is uploaded to the blockchain, the method further includes: obtaining a block address returned by the blockchain, the block address corresponding to a block storing the blockchain verification information.
Step 130: The blockchain verification information is uploaded to the blockchain.
Due to a storage mechanism of the blockchain, data in the blockchain is hardly tampered with. Based on the feature of the blockchain, it is credible that the data stored in the blockchain is non-tamperable. In this case, after the blockchain verification information is uploaded to the blockchain, the blockchain verification information may be prevented from being maliciously tampered with, and it is ensured that the verification node in the blockchain can verify, based on the blockchain verification information, a true playing status of the playing device.
The implementation of the blockchain-based advertisement monitoring method provided in the embodiments of the present specification is described in detail below using a schematic diagram of an actual scenario shown in FIG. 2 as an example. The implementation includes the following steps.
S21: An advertiser provides an advertisement multimedia resource to an advertisement-placing cloud platform.
S22: A local advertisement playing device obtains the advertisement multimedia resource from the advertisement-placing cloud platform and caches the advertisement multimedia resource in a local storage space. The advertisement-placing cloud platform stores a device identifier (ID) of the local advertisement playing device obtaining the advertisement multimedia resource. That is, the cloud platform storing a correspondence between the advertisement multimedia resource and the local advertisement playing device.
S23: A monitoring application is built in the local advertisement playing device, where the monitoring application obtains one or more screenshot images of the advertisement multimedia resource played by the local advertisement playing device. For example, a screenshot image of the advertisement multimedia resource played by the local advertisement playing device may be obtained at every preset time interval. For simplicity, the following discussion uses one screenshot image as an example. It may be obvious for a person in the art to expand the method by using a plurality of screenshot images.
S24: The monitoring application built in the local advertisement playing device may respectively perform signing on a hash value of the screenshot image, the device ID, and a length-width dimension of the screenshot image using a private key stored in SecurityKey, to ensure that the blockchain verification information uploaded to the blockchain is confirmed by the local advertisement playing device.
S25: The monitoring application built in the local advertisement playing device uploads signature information such as a first signature of digest information of the screenshot image, a second signature of the device ID, and a third signature of the length-width dimension of the screenshot image, the device ID, and the length-width dimension of the screenshot image to the blockchain through a preset interface provided by the blockchain. The uploaded signatures information, the device ID, and the length-width dimension of the screenshot image may be referred to as the blockchain verification information.
S26: A verification proxy server (that is, a verification node) in the blockchain obtains the blockchain verification information comprising, for example, the first signature, the second signature, the third signature, and the device ID, from the blockchain.
S27: The verification proxy server obtains to-be-verified digest information of the screenshot image corresponding to the first signature, a to-be-verified device ID corresponding to the second signature, and a to-be-verified length-width dimension of the screenshot image corresponding to the third signature based on a public key corresponding to the device ID.
S28: The verification proxy server obtains the advertisement multimedia resource corresponding to the device ID (device ID is stored in the blockchain verification information) from the advertisement-placing cloud platform after determining that the to-be-verified device ID is consistent with the device ID and that the to-be-verified length-width dimension of the screenshot image is consistent with the length-width dimension of the screenshot image.
S29: The verification proxy server performs a simulation playing operation on the advertisement multimedia resource corresponding to the device ID, to obtain each image of the advertisement multimedia resource corresponding to the device ID and calculate digest information of each image.
S210: Fuzzy matching is performed between the to-be-verified digest information of the screenshot image and the digest information of the each image obtained in S29. If the to-be-verified digest information matches the digest information of one of the images obtained in S29, it is determined that the advertisement multimedia resource corresponding to the device ID is played on the local advertisement playing device, that is, verification succeeds.
During monitoring of an advertisement played on an offline electronic display screen, the screenshot image of the target advertisement being played on the playing device and the identification information of the playing device may be obtained, and the blockchain verification information is generated based on the screenshot image and the identification information of the playing device. The blockchain verification information is content for verifying the screenshot image and the identification information. Then the blockchain verification information is uploaded to the blockchain. Based on a non-tamperable feature of the information recorded in the blockchain, the screenshot image existing when the playing device plays the target advertisement and the identification information of the playing device are uploaded to the blockchain. On the one hand, a lot of human resources required for advertisement monitoring are saved and efficiency is accordingly improved. On the other hand, it is ensured that the playing status of the advertisement is authentic and effective.
FIG. 3 is a schematic flowchart of implementation in which a blockchain-based advertisement monitoring method is applied to a verification node in a blockchain, according to an embodiment of the present specification. The implementation includes the following steps.
Step 310: Blockchain verification information of a target advertisement is obtained from a blockchain, the blockchain verification information including identification information of a playing device of the target advertisement.
In some embodiments, the blockchain verification information may include the identification information of the playing device. The verification node may obtain, based on the identification information of the playing device, an advertisement multimedia resource corresponding to the identification information of the playing device from an advertisement-placing cloud platform storing the multimedia resource of the target advertisement.
In some embodiments, the blockchain verification information may further include related information of a screenshot image of the target advertisement being played on the playing device. The verification node may verify, based on the related information of the screenshot image and the advertisement multimedia resource corresponding to the identification information of the playing device, a status of playing by the playing device.
Step 320: An advertisement resource corresponding to the identification information of the playing device is obtained. In some embodiments, in order to determine whether the target advertisement is played on the playing device, the advertisement resource corresponding to the identification information of the playing device may be obtained from an advertiser or an advertisement-placing cloud platform, to determine whether related information of the screenshot image included in the blockchain verification information matches the related information of a screenshot image when the target advertisement is played.
